Patient's question:
The patient previously suffered from endometriosis and began experiencing right-sided lower back and leg pain symptoms after a subtotal hysterectomy at the end of last year (approximately the 11th month of the lunar calendar). The symptoms have persisted for half a year, with the pain becoming increasingly severe and also extending to the right lower abdomen. The leg pain is primarily concentrated in the front part of the thigh above the right knee, and sometimes muscle spasms occur. Over the past six months, the nature and timing of the pain have also varied.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if it is considered an ovarian cyst, generally when the size is less than 5 cm, it does not significantly affect the body and does not impact fertility. Medications such as Guizhi Fuling Wan can be used for treatment, and regular follow-ups are recommended. If the cyst enlarges or if there are obvious symptoms, surgical treatment may be necessary.The occurrence of ovarian cysts not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a vaginal discharge test to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink plenty of water and maintain good personal hygiene.
